The "Fun" in Dysfunctional Families

Hi, everyone! For those of you who already know me, you know that writing a book has been a goal of mine since I was young enough to think that doing so would be easy. Well, even though that naive little girl has grown up, I'm ready to tackle the challenge--with your help, that is.

Each week, I will post a question about families, and would love any sort of response you're willing to provide. You can get as personal as you want (and stay anonymous, if desired), or get as impersonably philosophical as you want as well. Basically, all I ask is that you WRITE SOMETHING!

All of these comments will help me expand my knowledge of families beyond what I understand about my own and those who are close to me. I'm ready to inhale all the wisdom you have to share, whether you think it's wisdom or not. So what do you say? Do we have a book to write, or what? I say, let's go!

About Me

Considering this blog is all about amplifying what's important to me, I hope you learn about who I am from reading my posts. As a summary, I am a single, 26-year-old college graduate living with my parents because chronic illness has prohibited consistent full-time work. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), so when I talk about spiritual things, that is the framework from which I write, although I hope people of all spiritual beliefs will find something to think about in the things I write. I generally believe the world to be a good place, but I struggle with finding my happy place in it. That is part of the impetus for this blog. I hope I make some progress! I also love music (almost all genres), definitely enjoy eating (something that I'm sure will become the topic of an entry sometime), and like long walks on the beach at sunset. No really, I like long walks on the beach at sunset. :D
